NECKTIE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed January 7, 1918. Serial No. 210,689

To all It'll/unfit may concern:

Beit known that I. VILLIAM NUzUM, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Bronx, in the county of Bronx, State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Necktie, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to ncckties, and has for an object the provision of an improved construction whereby the tie may be removed from the collar easily and without untying the knot.

Another object in view is to provide a tie having retaining bars for the small end of the tie.

A still further object in view is to provide a tie with a retaining bar for the small end of the tie, and a bar or strip formed with means adapted to be secured to the shirt of the person wearing the tie so as to hold the tie near the shirt Without requiring the use of a tie clasp.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a rear view of a tie embodying the invention.

Fig. 2 is a figure showing an embodiment of the invention aS the same appears when in use.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the tie from the rear after the same has been tied.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates the tie in its entirety and provided with what may be termed a large end 2 anda small end 3. It will be noted that from the large end 2 to the tip of the small end 3 the tie is either parallel or slightly tapering, whereby the small end 3 is very narrow and maybe easily withdrawn when removing the tie.

When the parts are as shown in Fig. 2 and it is' desired to remove the tie a slight pull on the knot in one direction will cause the knot to be pulled in such a manner as to withdraw the short end 3 somewhat so that the same may be grasped by the fingers and pulled out of the knot without disturbing the knot, after which the tie may be removed from the collar, and the knot untied.

At the rear and near the lower part of the large end are arranged retaining bars 4:

or more than two may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention. In order to eliminate the necessity of a tie clasp a retaining member 6 is connected with one of the bars 4 or 5, preferably bar 5, said retaining member being formed of any desired material and secured to the bar in any desired manner, preferably the retaining member being of tape or ribbon pro-' vided with a button hole 7 and securedto the bar 5 by a line of stitching 8 arranged centrally of the bar 5, so that the retaining member 6 may be swung upwardly to engage one of the buttons 9 of the shirt, or swung downwardly. If the nearest button 9 is too near the bar 5 to properly hold the tie adjacent the shirt the fastening member 6 may be wound onceor any desired number of times around bar 5 and then slipped over the button. It is, of course, evident that the fastener 6 may be buttoned above or be- Paten'ted Jan. 14, 1919.

low bar 5 as may be preferred, or most convenient. the shirtin the proper manner for summer use or for winter use. It is especially de slrable for summer use as it holds the tie always centrally of the shirt and dispenses with the use of'a tie clasp while insuring the proper position of the tie even though the person using the device stoops over.

In order to stiffen the small end 3 of the tie lpreferably a number of lines of stitching 10 are arranged thereon diagonally as shown in Fig. 1 whereby the small end may be more easily threaded beneath the bars 4: and 5.

What I claim is:

1. A tie comprising a body, a transversely arranged cloth bar secured at its ends to said body near one end of the body for receiving the opposite end of the body when the tie is used. and a strip of cloth secured a This will hold the tie adjacentangles thereto, said strip having means thereon for connecting the strip with the shirt of the person wearing the tie. 2. A necktie comprising a body, across- 5 bar connected with said body near one end, and afastening means connected to said cross-bar,- said fastening means being flexible and capable of being wound around the cross-bar so as to shoflen the same, said fastening means having a button hole in one 10 end for receiving a button on the shirt of the person wearing the tie.

WILLIAM NUZUM.
